Im planning on getting an import but want one that can handle a turbo well. Will Civics handle turbos good? if so what modle Civic?

 

apparently (polo you should step in), my civic (6th gen) is an excellent specimen to do so with.

 

5th gens are really easy to work on, there are lots of parts and kits and i just finished my cars motor swap so if ur looking to buy i have a pretty red one to sell hehe

 

Civics definetly handle boost very well. The sky is pretty much the limit. The more money you put into it, the more power you can get.

 

sounds cool well I'm deciding in between a civic and eclipse right now and I've herd from people that eclipse don't hold boost that well?
So I'm still deciding.

Thanks confused tuner

 

What model or year civic do yall sugget that is best for starters and turbo? I don't plan on going before the 95 year model.

 

it doesnt matter, most poeple say eg or ek 92-95, and 96-00.also think about a swap too.

 

yeah it was the 92-95 body style that I meant I'm looking for I think its a '95 hatch back I saw in a magazine that I liked. I also like the 96-00 I haven't decided on which body style I like better yet though.
A engine swap on these cars is it costly? I saw a engine swap kit in the summit catalog it said something about a B16/B18 swap to a V-Tech for around 3,500.00 for the kit but there is not much info on the kit.

 

I went on ebay and found motors for civics don't know if its good or not but I'm still learning and doing research but on ebay I found complete VTec motors and trannys. How hard would it be to get motor mounts and ECU?

What motor should I look into getting for running a turbo on? a Vtec?

Thanks
